Jacqueline DeWitt is a native to Glenview and a sophomore at South. She's been taking pictures for The Oracle since her freshman year, and plans to continue throughout high school. Being a photographer allows her to meet many new people. Her favorite part of the job is witnessing a person's reaction when they see themselves in the newspaper. When Jacqueline isn't taking photos around the school, she usually engrosses herself in hobbies: reading, waitressing, and singing. In the future, she plans to have a career that will make a difference in children's lives. For now, Jacqueline is more than happy to just make people smile, snap a "pic" of them, and publish it for all to see.
